All that our heavenly Father has done for us was intentional and on purpose that we may be restored in full fellowship with our God and Creator. He so lovingly gave us his Son, Jesus, to be our Savior. And Jesus showed us true, everlasting love as he gave his life and died for our sins, yes, on purpose. He was resurrected on purpose and ascended back to the Father in heaven, all on purpose, that we may live in him, with him, and for him here on earth. Oh, for the joy of reconciliation; oh, for the joy of man's redemption. Jesus died for us--on purpose. Hebrews 12:2 says, "Looking to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."

It is my privilege to share with you Jesus on Purpose. This is a unique book of poetry and a unique devotional that was conceived and born in my quiet times with the Lord. It is like no other poetry book or devotional reader. It is a collection of poetry, scripture, and scriptural storytelling, and hymns. The lyrics of some of the old forgotten hymns are written for your enjoyment and exhortation. Here I revive some of these forgotten hymns that truly show us the purposeful love of God in song.

This book is written to magnify the beauty of the Lord and to enhance and reiterate the message of God's love toward us. May you be inspired, encouraged, and blessed as you read through the pages of Jesus on Purpose. Come, let us magnify the Lord together!
